Journalistic.


The Centreville, Nd, Observer, this week
issued 24-column Christmas supplement,
filed with stories and poems for the season,
and illustrated with appropriate designs.
The Baltimore Sun issued on Saturday last
very convenient Calendar for. 1888 on
which is given the rising and setting of the
sun, the moons phases and the legal
holidays.
The Prince Georges Enquirer entered
upon its sixth volume last week. Its editors
are making it better and better each year, and
their labors are appreciated as evidenced by
the large patronage extended to it.
The Baltimore Telegram appeared as a
double sheet last week. 1t was handsomely
illustrated, and contained, in addition to its
regular well arranged aud carefully culled
society items, large variety of material
suitable to the holiday season.
During the past week the baltimore Amer
lean issued double sheet daily filled with
choice Christmas reading, original and select
ed, and large amount of advertising suitable
for the season. Only those connected with a
large daily journal can appreciate the work
necessary to get out such paper, and we
feel assured that its patrons appreciate their
efforts.
The Hagerstown Daily Neics surprised its
readers on Tuesday last by appearing in an
enlarged form, with a new head. We are
pleased to see that all its contents are prepar
ed at home, not bought in New York, Phila.
delpha or Pittsburg, and palmed off upon its
readers as the latest and best news. The
enterprise ofits publishers will be appreciat-
ed by its readers. Its local affairs are well
written and newsy and the city is thoroughly
canvassed by its ubiquitous reporters. The
Weekly Ne,es is an excellent paper and
should go into the homes of all the good
people of Washington county.

OBITUARY.

Died on December 10TH 1857, at his residence near
Watersville, Mr.. James Harry Steele Jr of Jas.
II. Steele, ST., Esq. His remains were taken to Bal
timore on Wednesday, the 2lst. and inferred in Mt
Oliyet Cemetery by his mothers side. The beautiful
and impressive burial service of the Episcopal
Church was conducted at the grave by the Rev. Mr..
May, of Ascension 2. L. Church. The pall-b bearers
were Brent Waters of Baltimore. and Messrs. Chas.
Il. Davis, Augustus Warfield, T. Morgan Anderson,
Frank Dorsey and Charles Runkles Of this county.
The subject of this notice widely and favorably
known as genial, warm-hearted young man, of
generous impulses and many are the regrets and
deep are the signs heard from the aching hearts of
those that were drawn him by the ties OF affection,
and deep is the sympathy of all for the stricken one
who only one short year ago went with him to the
hymeneal altar and pledged her troth until death
should them part. Little did those who were present
on that joyous occasion think that in so short
period the bright rose and orange blossom would be
exchanged for the cypress All hoped that his good
native constitution, with the vglant attendance OF
his watchers and the skill of his medical attendants
invoked and secur ed by paternal affection would
restore him to his family and friends in health
again. But the ways of Providence mysterious.
May He who tempers the winds to the shorn lamb"
assuage the grief of the stricken ones. E. w.

The Republicans opened the President
ial campaign of 1888 as soon as the Pres
idents annual message was delivered, Mr..
Blaine himself sounding the key note by
telegraph from Paris, against the Presi-
dents recommendations for reducing the
revenue. 1t is earlier than usual to begin
Presidential campaign, but our opponents
may have concluded that there is nothing
like commencing in time. They should
remember, however, that it is written "the
first shall be last"
